Sport and Work on the Nepaul Frontier / Twelve Years Sporting Reminiscences of an Indigo Planter

An indigo planter recounts years on the Nepaul frontier, combining practical accounts of landholding, indigo cultivation and factory work with vivid descriptions of hunting, fishing and jungle sport. The narrative sketches daily planter routines, labor systems, village life, religious observances and local superstitions, and records seasonal entertainments such as race meetings, wrestling, dances and itinerant shows. Extended episodes describe encounters with tiger, rhinoceros, boar, crocodile and leopard, while reflections on administration, the planter community, and the challenges of working in remote districts provide a running context for these sporting and social reminiscences.
